曼谷卧佛寺的古法泰式按摩如何传承健康智慧
In the heart of Bangkok, inside the grounds of Wat Pho temple, rows of stone inscriptions depict pressure points and stretching figures. These 200-year-old carvings are the original textbooks for Thailand’s most famous school of traditional massage. The practice, known as nuad boran, blends influences from Indian Ayurveda, Chinese acupressure and local healing wisdom. While the temple’s golden reclining Buddha draws millions of visitors, a quieter stream of students arrives daily to learn an art that is both a spiritual ritual and a practical route to physical wellbeing.
The school trains locals and international pupils in a program that demands both patience and discipline. Over several months, they study anatomy, the concept of ten major energy lines called sen, and hundreds of hands-on techniques. Instructors like 45-year-old Somchai, who has worked here for two decades, emphasise that the massage is not just about pressing muscles — it is about conscious touch and a calm mind. Graduates must pass a rigorous exam that tests their ability to adapt pressure and stretches to different body types.
